GUWAHATI: Authorities of Kamakhya Temple and a number of other different organisations have criticised singer Zubeen Garg of ‘Ya Ali’ repute for wrongly claiming that Bollywood actor Govinda had sacrificed a buffalo at the famous shrine.
“Govinda spent almost about 15 minutes at the temple. He didn’t make any sacrifice,” clarified Bhupesh Sarma, a temple committee legitimate. “If any individual wants to accomplish a sacrifice, we will’t stop him from doing it as this is an age-old ritual,” he added. He added that about 20,000 other people talk over with the temple every day and handiest 50 want to perform sacrifice.
Govinda had visited the temple on Monday.
Zubeen Garg, who is a singer, track producer, film director and actor from Assam’s Jorhat, had earlier said, “I heard that Bollywood actor Govinda had sacrificed a buffalo here. I'd say discover ways to sacrifice yourself. Maa Kamakhya never seeks any sacrifice. I've always spoken towards animal sacrifice. It must be stopped.”
Sarma added, “Zubeen is a respected and very talked-about musician. He must avoid making such remarks. We don’t recognize such remarks which will hurt non secular sentiments.”
Zubeen, who has been trolled on social media for his comment, remained unfazed. “This is my personal opinion. I don’t recognize animal sacrifice. That’s it,” he instructed the media on Tuesday.
Condemning Garg’s remarks, Sadou Asom Devalaya Sangha secretary Kailash Sarma said, “We warn him (Zubeen) not to make such statements in long term.” Another group, Friends of Kamakhya has demanded an apology from the singer.
